Congratulations on your decision to quit!

Have you tried the patch or any other form of support? Granted, it's great if you can do it cold turkey, but, you don't have to go bonkers, LOL!
Keep coming and letting us know how it's going. We care.
Shalom!

Hi JML,
I quit August 23. I just ended my patches about a week ago.
IMO, the patches are the way to go. That, AND drinking so much water I float. AND red hot fire balls!

This is my 4th try at quitting, so I sure hope I stay quitted...

Good luck, you CAN do this!

We're PROUD of you!!!
